    Summary: Infinite certificate chain depth results in OctoRPKI running forever

    Details: OctoRPKI (github.com/cloudflare/cfrpki/cmd/octorpki) does not limit the depth of a certificate chain, allowing for a CA to create children in an ad-hoc fashion, thereby making tree traversal never end. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory email us at [email protected]
